Stjerbinsky (Ron Holgate) is an aristocratic, anti-semitic, Polish Colonel who is trying to get to England. Jacobowsky has a car but can't drive. The Colonel Can and so begins their journey. Accompanied by the colonels girlfriend Marianne they go to a carnival, a jewish wedding and onto a train when the car breaks down. Jacobowsky falls in love with Marianne but it is not to be.
